FISH ROLL WITH COMPOUND BUTTER
This salmon roll stuffed with flounder, scallops and fresh herbs is a real showstopper, not only visually but texturally and flavorally. Okay, flavorally isn't a word, but you get the picture. This is definitely a frighten-and-amaze-your-friends-and-family dish. I really feel the electric knife is key. This recipe first appeared in Season 6 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- On your countertop, lay out a sheet of parchment paper at least 15 inches long and top it with a slightly longer layer of plastic wrap.
- Lay out your fillets of salmon, tails away from you. Overlap the fillets of flounder about 1 inch over the tails of the salmon. Place the scallops on a metal skewer and set at the end of the flounder furthest from you. Season the seafood with the salt and pepper and sprinkle with the herbs.
- Using the plastic wrap, roll the fish towards you so that the plastic begins to pull the flounder over the scallops. Be sure not to roll the plastic into the fish roll. Use a half sheet pan to push the roll tight as you pull the plastic toward you. The roll should be tight and you should be able to remove the sheet of plastic. Then, roll the fish in the parchment away from you so it is completely encased in the parchment, like a sausage, twisting the ends slightly. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Make the compound butter: In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix the butter, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Place the mixture on a piece of parchment and fold the parchment over itself. Pull to form a roll and twist the ends. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set up. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds and remove the parchment.
- Heat your broiler and place the oven rack 6 inches from the heating element. Brush a broiler pan with oil.
- Remove the metal skewer and, using the electric knife, slice the roulade into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick rounds. Place onto the prepared broiler pan, remove the parchment paper, and brush each round with oil. Broil until the rounds reach an internal temperature of 130°F, 6 to 9 minutes.
- Serve with 1 slice of compound butter on each fish roll.
COMPOUND BUTTER
Steps:
- Chop the butter into uniform chunks using the dough scraper.
- Place the oil into the food processor and add the chives. Process until the chives are finely chopped. Add the remaining herbs and blend until the herbs have colored the oil. Using the whisk attachment, whip the butter in the mixer?s work bowl at medium speed until it softens and lightens in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the herb oil to the butter and beat for another 2 minutes until oil is fully incorporated. Remove butter from bowl and spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, using the edge of a baking sheet to form a tight log. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
HONEY BUTTER
Steps:
- Cut the butter into chunks using the dough scraper.
- Place butter into the mixer?s work bowl and beat at low speed, using the whisk attachment to loosen the butter. Increase the speed to medium and add the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and beat until well combined, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove butter from bowl and spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the Right Fish: Use a firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well to rolling and baking. Good options include salmon, halibut, or cod.
- Make Sure the Fish Is Fresh: The fresher the fish, the better your fish rolls will be. Look for fish that is bright and shiny, with no off odors.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the fish into thin, even slices.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Use a Good Quality Butter: The butter you use for the compound butter will make a big difference in the flavor of your fish rolls. Use a high-quality unsalted butter.
- Season the Fish Rolls Generously: Don't be afraid to season the fish rolls with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the fish.
- Serve the Fish Rolls Immediately: Fish rolls are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and crispy.
